EN 71-7:2014 pdf download.Safety of toys – Part 7: Finger paints – Requirements and test methods.
Introduction
EN 71-7 contains requirements which are intended to reduce the risks to children when finger paints are used as intended or in a foreseeable way, bearing in mind the behaviour of children. It is intended to complete the essential safety requirements of Directive 2009/48/EC by providing special requirements for finger paints.
It is recognized that finger paints when compared to other toy products present different risks because of the intended use by fingers or hands and the age of the child. For example, prolonged skin contact or possible ingestion of paint material cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the safety requirements outlined in other parts of EN 71 needed to be expanded upon for finger paints. In order to address the risks associated with the use of finger paints by children, this part of EN 71 contains requirements relating to preservatives as well as other ingredients that may be used in the manufacture of finger paints and requirements relating to impurities, migration of certain elements and other attributes.

This part of EN 71 specifies requirements for the substances and materials used in finger paints and applies to finger paints only.
Additional requirements are specified for markings, labelling and containers.
